background: several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested up to now. neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are the nuclear methods used for landmine detection. in this paper an optimized (safe and effective) moderating structure using an 241am-be neutron source for detecting landmines has been invest...

Introduction: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is recommended to treat the glioblastoma tumor. It is well known that neuron beams are more effective treatment than photon beams to treat hypoxia tumors due to interaction of neutron with nucleus and production of heavy particles such as 7Li and alpha particle. In this study to evaluate the suitability of BNCT for treating of ...

Abstract Hard carbon is the most common anode material for Na-ion battery. The structure of hard and dynamics in were studied with small- wide-angle neutron scattering muon spin relaxation technique. revealed increase interlayer distance between graphenes decrease size nanopores increasing sodium intercalation carbon. that a systematic field fluctuation rate temperature evidenced thermally acti...

Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) has been shown to allow solving partial differential equations to significantly higher accuracy at reduced numerical cost. This paper presents a state-of-the-art AMR algorithm applied to the multigroup neutron diffusion equation for reactor applications. In order to follow the physics closely, energy group-dependent meshes are employed. We present a novel algorith...

Introduction: In recent years, the use of neutrons has increased in various fields such as medicine and industry. One of the important applications of neutrons is in medical research. Neutrons have greater linear energy transfer than gamma rays and are considered more dangerous radiation. Hence, the detection and determination of neutron dose is a very important and vital issu...

The temperature-dependent diffusivity D(T) of hydrogen solute atoms trapped at dislocations-dislocation pipe diffusion of hydrogen-in deformed polycrystalline PdH(x) (x∼10(-3)  [H]/[Pd]) has been quantified with quasielastic neutron scattering between 150 and 400 K. We observe diffusion coefficients for trapped hydrogen elevated by one to two orders of magnitude above bulk diffusion. Arrhenius ...

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and pulsed field gradient (PFG) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) diffusion measurements were applied to examine morphology and diffusion in dimyristoyl- plus dihexanoyl-phosphatidylcholine bicellar mixtures, either neutral or negatively charged, incorporating a Pluronic triblock copolymer (F68). Negatively charged bicellar mixtures, doped with dimyristoylph...

A nodal collocation method is proposed to compute the dominant Lambda modes of nuclear reactor core with a hexagonal geometry. This method is based on a triangular mesh and assumes that the neutronic flux can be approximated as a finite expansion in terms of Dubiner’s polynomials. The method transforms the initial differential eigenvalue problem into a generalized algebraic one, from which the ...
